Are human impacts like a hammer and biological systems a nail?
What are the problems with this analogy?
The degree to which a system is susceptible to adverse effects of global change is a function of:
So….organismal responses are critically important
Organisms affect their own fate and also the dynamics of biotic systems as a whole
If environmental conditions are changing… what are the adjacent possible options for survival?
In physical space -> move
In physiological / behavioral space -> adjust
In genetic / adaptive space -> adapt
If no adjacent possible -> die
Responses are not mutually exclusive
If environmental conditions are changing…
what are the adjacent possible options for survival?
If environmental conditions are changing…

Move: movement of individuals, populations or species (range changes)
QUESTION: How would you categorize different types of movement?
100 years from now where could species survive and how could it get there?
Can it disperse far enough fast enough over a fragmented landscape?
What is the role of the interaction with species and the environment?
